Wireless button won't work after installing Linux

Hey just installed Ubuntu 12.10 as my only os now my wireless connection won't work . The button won't light or or anything need help please message me at tcalisher@gmail.com I really want this fixed :/

Ubuntu now uses Unity, I've also tried it (12.04 and 12.10) and it wasn't working like I wanted it to work, I've heard MANY people complaining about it.
My advice is : try another distro, Ubuntu is not listening to their users anymore.
I have 2 laptops (8 year old Acer and 2 year old HP) laying around here, they both boot Linux Mint (13 and 14 MATE) and they're rock solid.
I'm not hating Ubuntu, but there are other distro's then Ubuntu which are better.

Agreed Ubuntu is in a state of flux right now kinda like Gnome 3 is and KDE4 used to be. Personally I use Debian Wheezy with Mate but Mint works well and may be better suited for beginners and those that don't want to tinker with their system. If you like Xfce then SalineOS 2 is a great choice too. It's rock solid and kinda reminds me of Ubuntu with out all the fuss.
